UPDATE: The Final Round is over - here are the winners!

First of all congratulations — and thanks for helping make GOG.com reviews awesome! Winners were chosen by vote from the pool of eligible entries. We judged the merits of the review itself – the game and rating were not taken under consideration.

As befitting of a grand finale, this time around we have not one but three ROCCAT prizes to give out: a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Aluma</span> in-ear headset, a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Kova</span> mouse, and a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Hiro+</span> mousepad!


We'll be contacting the winners in order of placement to ask them which piece of gear they prefer.
Now onwards to the future owners of sweet stuff:

1st Winner<span class="bold">Shadow9001 on Deus Ex</span>

2st Winner<span class="bold">Leonard03 on Worms Armageddon</span>

3st Winner<span class="bold">SDX on Fallout 2</span>

Honorable Mentions – $9.99 GOG.com Game Code

<span class="bold">Ingsco85</span> on Victor Vran
<span class="bold">Galleguian</span> on Hatoful Boyfriend
<span class="bold">PIXZEL</span> on Dead Space

Thanks everyone for participating in our Review of the Month contests and a huge thank you to our good friends at ROCCAT for providing us with all these excellent pieces of gaming gear.

We'll be contacting the winners soon!



Original announcement
Together with our friends at ROCCAT we venture to encourage and reward the best reviews on GOG.com – so welcome to the final edition of our Review of the Month contest! As in last time around, eligible entries can be about ANY game in our catalog. That's right, you can write about any game you fancy, regardless of when they were released!

A proper Review Contest must go out with a bang, so for the final round we have not just one, but 3 pieces of sexy gaming gear up for grabs: a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Aluma</span> in-ear headset, a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Kova</span> gaming mouse, and a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Hiro+</span> mousepad.

Here's what you need to know:

Once you have posted your review, submit it for consideration by also quoting it in this thread.
Keep the review guidelines in mind. A good review can be both entertaining and informative, it can be brief or extensive. It doesn't need to be positive in its overall assessment of the game - as long as it's eloquent and fair (or hilarious), it has our attention.
Deadline for submissions is the end of October, and winners will be announced in early November. Remember that if you're not happy with the shape of a review you've already posted, you can always contact our support team to rectify that.
The best 3 reviews will win a sweet piece of gaming gear, courtesy of the good people at ROCCAT. Any runner-ups will receive honorable mentions and one $9.99 code each, to be redeemed at GOG.com.

Let's celebrate the reviews that hit the nail on the head — the most constructive, informative, or fun to read. Grab your keyboards and make some magic happen, GOGers!

Feamelwen: Ok, basically I had the honorable mention in the september contest, the one that was the first one open to all games, not only the ones which were out that month.

And as hard as I try, I just can't find the forum post metioning the winners for september. It goes straight from the June/July winners to the october (fall) winners. I guess that's why I can't find my name in there ... because I can't find the forum post.

capricorn1971ad: that's not what I was saying, I am just an observer, what I am saying is THIS: "There is NO HONOR in DISHONORABLE things" and writing a review for gain, that is indeed a dishonorable thing.
I wasn't answering to you, just adressing my observations in general to GOG's staff and basically, I'm asking for help for finding the post about the september winners, the ones who participated in the contest which ended around the 15th of september, the first one open to any games, regardless of when they were published. If anyone was a september winner or honorable mention, do you still have a link to that post? Or a screenshot? Or anything? Did I dream it all?

EDIT : Classicgogger -> oh, so you DID find it! Thanks a lot! I was starting to think I've dreamt it all!

If you dreamed that honor could be found in dishonor probably so.

all things considered you don't care about the truth, your just after your pay for your deceptive works.
as i said earlier, honor without integrity is just a word.

your just part of the proof of such.

May you get all your heart dreams of, a new home and a boyfriend.

Just my two cents here, but I don't find there to be anything wrong with this review system. There are many games on GOG.com that don't have reviews or just one or two. GOG needed to find a creative way to engage their customers into writing reviews. The reviews don't have to be positive, just helpful, honest, informative and well-written, and maybe even a little amusing. That way there are more detailed reviews. Personally, I think its great.

If you think that people will only write 5 star reviews, that's your opinion, but I don't think it changes anything. GOG reviews are usually "rose-tinted" anyway, and have been so since the beginning, not just since the contests were started half a year ago.
